Read ending authors note, it should answer some questions about chapter...

Ch.5

Robin surveys the dark night sky from atop Titan Tower. The air is stale and animate with wind. Moonlight reflects off the calm ocean water casting a pale light upon the tower.

Subconsciously, he rubs a locket that hangs about his neck. With a sigh, he brings it to his face releasing a tiny latch. The sight within brings a broad smile to his face. The Titans, not necessarily the most functional family in the world, but it's HIS family none the less.

The sight of a second picture within the locket makes his stomach tie in a knot and his breath shorten. It's a picture of Starfire and his first visit to "the mall of shopping."

The wind picks up, tickling his face and caressing his ears with a comforting whisper. Taking a deep breath, he soaks in the scent of the sea.

For a long moment he stands still, holding the locket, forgetting where he is, picturing the day his new family came to be.

"Hahaha, it truly is a marvelous place to grow up with your FRIENDS and FAMILY!"

Robin instantly swings around snapping the locket shut and stuffing it within his costume. The roof is empty.

"Who are you?"

"I'm disappointed Robin, you forgot me already? Now we can't have that."

Shaking uncontrollably, fear washes through all of his being. Sweat creeps down his forehead, the air grows heavy. He tries to move, his legs respond lethargically.

"Wha...what did you do to me?" stutters Robin.

"What's wrong, are you AFRAID?"

Taking one last glance around, horror evident in his eyes, Robin makes for Tower entrance forcing his legs to listen. Reaching his destination, he tries to open the door, it doesn't budge.

---

"We need to get him to his room. No, Star, don't move him! My sensors are picking up something new."

"I do not understand." The look on Stars face almost breaks Cyborg's heart.

"I'll explain later. Raven, pick him up and be careful."

Raven lifts Robin with her telekinesis, gently guiding him through the air. Star and the others quickly follow. Arriving at the room they halt, a silhouette of an intruder greeting them.

"You broke into the wrong Tower!"

Cyborg's arm transforms into a cannon which now hums with blue and white energy. About to fire, his arm is engulfed in adhesive material. More of which glues his feet to the floor. Trying with all his might to break free he is unsuccessful.

Beast Boy charges from behind as an ape. The intruder moves his head to one side dodging the strike and promptly backhands Beast Boy. Flying across the room and into a wall, the impact causes him to morph into human form dazed.

Coming upon the intruder, her eyes pulsing green Starfire throws an earth shattering punch. Meeting the intruder's palm it halts.

"Listen, I'm not here to fight! I can help Robin."

Starfire puts her hands down immediately.

"Trust me."

Her gaze turns to Robin who is still motionless in the air.

"It may already be too late. You have to let me help him."

Too late...

Too late...

Too late...

The words reverberate in her skull making her feel weak at the knees, her stomach throbbing.

"Save Robin."

Raven carefully sets Robin down in his bed .Without hesitation the stranger reaches into his blue backpack pulling out a needle. He injects a clear yellow liquid into Robins arm. Feeling for a pulse, he seems to hesitate, then nods. Star couldn't help but think she saw a smile from behind his red mask as she flew to Robin.

"I am most thankful," says Star while kneeling beside Robin.

"Why are you helping us?" demands Cyborg.

"Don't always believe what you read in the papers. I'm on your side"

Cyborg replies with a simple nod.

"How did you get a cure, as far as we can tell this disease is unheard of." questions Raven, clearly in a suspicious tone.

"I injected him with a healing factor serum. His body will heal all physical wounds at an extraordinary rate for a short period of time. I have a few friends from upstate NY that put it together for me. As far as a cure...I have none. The serum I gave Robin will only give him more time."

"So, Robin shall leave us?" Starfire manages to squeak.

"No, I won't let that happen. A cure does exist; we just have to wait until the second dosage is complete. The ingredients are extremely hard to come by and the process by which to make it is lengthy. Until it arrives I have more healing factor."

"A second dosage?" Raven asks.

Spiderman visibly tightens up, his hands clutching the air at his sides. Raven skims his mind for surfacing thoughts. A flash of a red hair girl appears in her mind's eye. Raven can feel the waves of emotion from him, causing a single tear to appear in the corner of her eye. She breaks the connection and puts her hands to her temples. Her head is splitting with pain.

"This happened to a friend of yours too..."

Head towards the ground Spiderman answers, "Yes...look, I'll be back tonight, you should take care of Robin now. There is something I need to do."

Spiderman then jumps out the window.

----

It grabs one of his legs pulling Robin to the ground. He can feel its claws within him, sending spikes of pain shooting through his calf as he is being dragged away.

"No, have to warn others..."

Long nails pierce his back, his limbs get cold. The world is darker and darker, going from smudges of light to pitch black. He can hear the Titans in the background, their shouting soon swallowed with the light.

Author's Note: Like I said in chapter one author's noted, the Teen Titans will remain as the focus of the story. Think of Spiderman as a co-star. I also said I was using the ultimate marval universe. Spiderman is 15 in the ultimate series, I thought it good to use the ultimate series becuase Spiderman being a teen kinda fits with Teen Titans. About his powers, well Spiderman in comics has picked up anything from a bus to a tank. A bus weighs 10 tons and a tank weighs about 65 tons. Being Spiderman is a kid it will be somewhere between the two, either way extremely strong. Then of course you guys know about the spidey sense and relfexes and stuff. I am however going with the comics, making him have webshooters, not natural webs. DON'T WORRY GUYS, WE SHALL HAVE SOME MORE STAR AND ROBIN FLUFF NEXT CHAPTER AND REVIEWING IS STILL OF COURSE APRESHIATED.
